Bacteriostatic Water FAQ
What is bacteriostatic water?
Sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth after a vial is punctured so it can be accessed more than once.
Bacteriostatic or sterile water: which do I need?
Bacteriostatic water suits multi-draw vials where benzyl alcohol is compatible with your protocol. Preservative-free sterile water suits single use or protocols that exclude benzyl alcohol.
How does the Certificate of Analysis work?
A Certificate of Analysis is run monthly and covers each production batch made that month. It is not issued per shipment. For COA questions, call 936-379-5515 or email info@renewlabgroup.com.
Is deionized water the same as bacteriostatic water?
No. Deionized water only has dissolved minerals removed; it is not sterile and has no preservative. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, made in our cleanroom, tested for sterility and endotoxin, and covered by a monthly Certificate of Analysis for each production batch. They are not interchangeable.
Which vial size should I choose?
All sizes use the same formula. Smaller 10 mL vials mean a fresh vial is opened more often, while 30 and 50 mL vials suit higher-volume work and cost less per mL. Packs of 2, 5 and 10 lower the price per vial.
How should bacteriostatic water be stored?
Store unopened vials at controlled room temperature, away from direct light. After a vial is punctured, date it and follow your institution’s protocol for storage and discard. Do not use a vial if the liquid is cloudy or discolored or the seal is broken.
